Chap with very nice voice on radio 5 right now. My attention was caught by his clearly genuine comments of excitement about The Albion, caveatted by his admission he is not really a football fan and couldn't answer a quiz on the Albion. Honest. After that a reasonable discussion about 'illegal' immigration. Sound like a sensible competent bloke. I'm not familiar with him being Faversham based. Name of Peter Kyle.

I will mostly be voting for the Queen of Hangleton, Dawn Barnett, probably the best councillor in the city.

One minute campaigning to have cycle lanes removed, next minute campaigning about road safety for children. I think she just goes with whatever is top of the Facebook group 'Happenings in Hangleton'...

The Greens are f***ed, just looking at their local site, they still haven’t announced candidates for all wards and of the list in the wards they have announced only 10 are existing cllrs , it’s looking like a Labour controlled council come May

Brighton Green accused of saying they 'f***ing hate Labour'​

Green councillor accused of telling candidate they 'f***ing hate Labour'

A Green councillor has been accused of telling a candidate for the May election they would rather see the Tories elected over Labour

Reading that it seems as though Councillor Amanda Evans "f***ing hate the Greens". It's also noticeable that the Labour Councillor, Amanda Evans, didn't name the 'Brighton Green' accused of saying this. So this is really a non-story, with little substance, with The Argus trying to cause a little bit of trouble, and generate some clicks for their bait.

Just wow, Greens announce their manifesto for this upcoming election, my favourite from these lunatics is they plan to collect recycling weekly and only collect refuse fortnightly, unbelievable and from a council who still hasn’t picked up the recycled Christmas trees from last Christmas from Montpelier Crescent .

Perhaps even a predictions competition.

The greens have made our city a laughing stock . The students will keep voting for this glorified pressure group and it’s ruining our city . Vote labour , vote tory but please don’t vote Green , it’s not big and it’s certainly not clever !

Sadly I have to agree. I'd like the city to be green ( note the little g ) but the Green party are not the way to achieve that. For example, illegal felling of trees in Wild Park, destruction of Europe's oldest green wall and voting to build on greenfield sites such as Benfield Valley and Whitehawk butterfly bank. Vote for anyone but don't vote Green. The only exception is don't vote for Tory Tim Hodges also known as @Falmerfourtickets - how's the police investigation into my posts going Timmy ?

To be fair I've just seen the idiot out campaigning with the honourable Dawn Barnett. Couldn't stop as I was driving but then according to him we've met before - we haven't but he's a deluded twat.

I suspect that the Pound Shop Boris Johnson will do even worse than he did in Withdean. He hasn’t exactly been making friends and influencing people recently, unless you are a Green Councillor of course! 😂

Council oppose West Blatchington Primary School Pioneer Academy plan | The Argus

Councillors voted to oppose a primary school’s plans to become an academy shortly after the local authority maintained school’s governors voted…

More drivel from you. The manifesto mentions refuse twice, both of which are innocuous. You've either been fooled, or you're a liar. Which one is it?

So given you weren't brave enough to name said candidate - here you go :

Standing for Westdene and Hove Park I give you Ivan Lyons aka @Steve Foster - very unwilling to out himself as a Tory in the local press comments section. Thought Lizz Truss' budget was great - employed two extra people based on it - wonder how that went ? Thinks he the richest person on NSC.

Standing for Hangleton and Knoll - Tim Hodges aka @Falmerfourtickets - wiped his internet history before standing in the old ward of Withdean. Doesn't like cyclists or the poor. Likes to accuse people of libel and harassment. Threatens to report IP addresses to the police ( like they would care ) yet doesn't.

Welcome to the local Tories !

I'm quite enjoying this election, there are lots of shocks in store, I reckon but I reckon the Greens and Tories may well lose a few. I went to one hustings where neither Greens nor Tories turned up, so they must know what's coming. Mrs Gwylan is standing - she won't win but it's been interesting have a close view of what's going on

Shouldn't someone be spending today out campaigning trying to win over voters in Hangleton rather than hanging round somewhere he's already despised ?

To be fair - can't believe I'm saying that - he has been delivering paper crap through letterboxes today.
